Over at Newsarama you can find this, "Is Marvel Introducing a New Bucky?" It's a nice pic of a girl (or petite woman) wearing a modified Bucky costume.
Now, the apparent likelihood is that this is someone called "Rikki Barnes" from something called "Heroes Reborn." (It apparently happened during my ten-year vacation from comics during the 90s, and I'm told I didn't miss much.)
However, the possibility is mentioned that it could be Natasha Romanov.
Even though it appears to be highly unlikely, I still have to utter a gasp of horror at that idea. Natasha is NOT anyone's sidekick. She has always been an independent agent. She's worked with others in the past--Hawkeye, Daredevil--but never, never, never in a secondary capacity. Always as an equal.
And if you're wearing the costume of Marvel's most famous sidekick, well, there's a strong sense there that you're not going to be the main character.
